1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done?
Mainly in my past social studies classes is were I did my research. In six grade we research how they wrote letters to each others in the Civial war. In seventh grade we research the Freach and the spainsh.
2. Based on these projects, what does research mean to you?
It means you have to brainstorm a lot and research a little each day then you answer all the questions you have on your topic.
3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative? In social studies last year we had to research the french and their culture and what they did to make their society work it was not to much fun for me.
